What to Know About Commercial Water Damage

9/18/2020 (Permalink)

Buildings are the biggest asset for every business owner; discovering structural damage of any type will surely be stressful. While there are a number of preventative measures to take to prevent this type of damage, accidents like frozen and burst pipes, backed up sewage lines, and even floods can happen at any time.

A few things to keep in mind if your property is affected by water damage:

1. Mold can grow quickly after water damage.

-After water has affected a particular area, mold can grow in as little as 24 – 48 hours. All excess water and humid conditions should be dried out right away to prevent the risk of mold growth.

2. Problems are not always fixed even if the water has dried out.

-While the water evaporates in the area, moisture will accumulate in the walls, ceiling, and even the floor below, promoting microbial growth.

3. Timing is everything.

-As soon as you find water damage on your property, taking the necessary steps right away can make a big difference in financial costs.
